Two new products that have shown up on the horizon to help us in our daily work. The first is a NEW replacement type breaker(s) by EATON/CUTLER HAMMER. These breakers are listed to be used in several different manufacturers panels. Six in all which will eliminate unnecessary trips to the supply house, saving time and money. Attached you will find a brochure listing and explaining all the products that meet this new standard.

The next is a EATON/BUSSMAN product that will help you calculate the available fault current in order to meet the new requirements of 110.24(A),(B), which requires most commercial and industrial services to be marked with the the fault current. This new application can be down loaded onto your phone or used in the office. You can then print up the label for the application of this new code section.

That’s all I have for this week. Next week we will get back to the 2011 code changes.
Work safe be safe
